Sprint and Clearwire today announced a significant expansion of their joint WiMax network in the New York City metro area. The companies say that the regional network has grown by 21%, and now covers 11.93 million people between New Jersey and Long Island. Some of the new areas now covered by WiMax include: Alpine, Bayonne, Elizabeth, Fair Lawn, Newark, Paramus, Secaucus, and Union, N.J.; and Hartsdale, New Rochelle, New York, Rockville Centre, and Yonkers, N.Y. Sprint and Clearwire have slowed down the number of new market launches this year as Clearwire seeks more funding.
